Too late to update my activities for the past month. Well lets focus and remember. Key things were:
Long weekend was celebrated with gurshi and nandini and partly with Piyush. Pics can be found at the usual picassa place.
Then followed the workload to finish internship work. Time flew, but blogosphere was quite active and same can be said for Naman.
Watched Dark knight in multiplex. Alone :(. Good movie!
Went to San jose Gurdwara on Gurshi's bday. I always love Gurdwaras (and its not because of free food only)
Gave intern presentation, summed up intern work and played the go game on Aug 8.
Went to New York for a week. A different city on its own. Had a great time with my cousin and his family. Ate classic home cooked indian food :) .
Went to Albany for a day. Nice trip!
Visited statue of liberty and immigration museum at Ellis island. Loved the museum, its very well maintained. Only thing i hated was that the fact that America's positive spin off to the whole thing. By the facts, it looked like a horrible place to live, risky work atmosphere and yet they are telling that people wanted to come here. Why? Was it that bad in their countries? Some facts were missing or misrepresented. In any case, loved the exhibition and audio tour was very helpful.
Visited Central zoo - a small zoo but still was impressed by the fact that animals were kept in natural environment as possible. Purists may disagree but i have seen worse.
Best part of visiting NY is to walk on the streets of Manhattan. It is a whole new culture out there. I may even add a different species of homo sapiens as well :) . But on the way i saw Charging bull. WTC construction site, Time squar, Battery park, and other tall buildings.
Came back to atlanta. Moved to Homepark from Centennial place. Laptop broken, Laptop repaired. Life without laptop was not that bad! I didnt expect that! And the semester has started. Courses for this sem are: Advance opertaing system, WWW: Internet and its applications, Pattern matching and Cognition and culture.
[Pics whenever applicable will be updated soon on picassa album :)]
